We looked at it and liked most of it, however, that model doesn't have the large pass through storage under the front that most fifth wheels have. That was a deal killer for us.

Other than that, we liked it. Went with the 29.5 bhds instead and have been happy with it.

My wife decided to give up on the pass through storage for the rear bedroom. We are moving up from a 27 foot travel trailer and it also had limited storage.

We bought the 29.5 BHOK. I love it. We get the four bunks and all the perks of the outside (and inside) storage that it has versus the rear bedroom floor plan. It would be nice to have the talker ceiling in the bedroom, but even at 6ft, my DH has plenty of headroom to walk around with.

It was all about the bedroom for my wife and I.

Glad you are enjoying your camper.

We got our 29.5FBDS last May and we love it. I like the rear bed room because I'm 6'2". The front bunk area serves two purposes, storage for gear and a 'fort' for our grandson.

The biggest draw back for us is the 40ish gal fresh water tank, not enough for more than a 3 or 4 day weekend. I have added a point to hook up a standard drinking water hose where I can suction draw water with the trailer's pump from a portable tank to refill the water tank. So problem solved.

We are very happy with our FBDS and would choose it again. See earlier threads for some of the pros/cons. Good luck!
